For my dish I placed the soup in a bowl and topped with a small bouquet of Cilantro. '

In a small white bowl used for making lava cakes, I placed a ball of stick rice topped with carrot, celery, and green onion caramelized in some thyme, sea salt, garlic powder, curry, and red pepper flakes. I then placed a small paratha to gently caress the rice.

Serve and Enjoy
